unexpected error:quitting - MS Anti spyware

[markb]

I recently downloaded MS beta 1 on XP. It works fine for
administrator, but now all other users get error message.
"Unexpected error;quitting" - If they try to run it it
doesn't work at all - Help

I experience this problem too and I found nothing helpful
in the MS Antispyware Help menu. Can anyone suggest a
specific search topic or a link to a solution?

I can olny share your pain. In my case, one of the four user accounts
generates this error after login. This account has admin privledges. If
you attempt to remove the software, another series of error messages are
generated about gc**.dlls not being found or registered.

Sorry for the earlier blank, premature, posting

MSAS Beta1 does not work correctly with multiple user accounts. Beta2, with the
new name Windows® Defender, should work on multi-user installations.

A number of users are seeing similar. I don't have a fix, I'm
afraid--there's an "error 1904" thread elsewhere in this group which I'm
trying to stick with, but I sure don't have any fix at this point.

Sounds "wonderful" but where's this Beta 2 version or when? I'm running Ver.
1.0.701 which I just downloaded Jan. 11 and still have the same problem and
posted a similar thread without knowing this one existed. Sorry.

The only way I've been able to get around this is to create the user accounts
after installing MSAS.
